I've noticed when I pop the hood on my LT1 Firebird that when it's very cold out (around 0F or less) that I see a few drops of coolant on the elbow going into my throttle body (I have no idea how it gets up there!) but I also see no evidence of leaking from anywhere.
The water pump is pretty high up on this engine (right under the throttle body actually) so is it possible that in extreme cold only I might get a slight leakage but it'll be fine once the weather warms up?
Has anyone else experienced minor coolant leaks when it's extremely cold? I saw no coolant leakage at all yesterday morning when it was closer to 20F outside.
